Samara is a new baby since she started bananas 6 days ago now. She just loves them! When I get out her special bowl and spoon and start to mash, she is like a puppy dog who's seen his leash taken out of the drawer. It's so sweet. She leans in for every bite and eats a WHOLE banana in just a couple of minutes. And then... sometime thereafter.... she sleeps! She's actually been napping every day since last Tuesday, sometimes for 2 hours, sometimes 3 times a day! It's incredible. I am so proud of her. Watching her lie so calmly, so still, makes me so happy for her. And when she wakes up talking, not crying, it's a good thing for everyone. She's so big now! And today we might try pears!
In other news, today is the election. Samara may well get her vote before me. It feels strange not having a voice, as I feel no different than Joe the Sailor next door, but Steve will cast his vote for our family of three, ever so proudly, and hope that today's victory will be the beginning of many good things to come. There's just so much going on. I am overwhelmed with excitement, anticipation and nerves, too. It sure is good to know there's someone else in charge. Happy voting everyone!
